About Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on human blood. Their namesake comes from their behavior of becoming active at night and burying deep inside mattresses and furniture crevices but, can be found in the baseboards or any other harborage including behind pictures on a wall.  Adult bed bugs have flat reddish ­brown colored oval bodies. Adult bed bugs are approx. the size of an apple seed and move quickly therefore they are sometimes easy to detect.   As they feed, their bodies swell and become red. Females lay hundreds of eggs over a lifetime.

Bed bugs generally bite at nighttime while people sleep and can't be felt. Bed bugs feed by piercing the skin and withdrawing blood from three to ten minutes, until becoming fully engorged. At first the bites are painless, but later the bites can turn into large itchy skin welts. The welts occur on the skin as an allergic reaction to the bite itself.  People sometime mistake the welts and itching to other insect bites, such as mosquitoes or fleas. This is why it is important to have a licensed pest control applicator inspect the area of concern to determine if there is an infestation of bed bugs or a different pest.
